A. fumigatus hyphae induced mRNA expression of inflammatory mediators in THCEs. The mRNA expression of inflammatory cytokines (IL-1β and IL-6) and chemokines (IL-8 and CXCL1) in THCEs were evaluated at 4, 8, 16 h. IL-1β (p < 0.01, p < 0.01, p < 0.01), IL-6 (p < 0.05, p < 0.01, p < 0.01), IL-8 (p < 0.01, p < 0.01, p < 0.01) and CXCL1 (p < 0.05, p < 0.01, p < 0.01) mRNA levels were elevated after A. fumigatus hyphae stimulation of 4, 8, 16 h separately compared with untreated normal THCEs. **p < 0.01, *p < 0.05
